Gary is A-1 professional! He and Antonio took extreme care of moving my one bedroom apartment as if it were their own. I've used other local movers but Gary's company is top-notch. The whole project took a total of two hours. Amazing. I only say this because moving in and out from one place to another is very stressful: you are happy to leave the one and nervous to get settled into the other - hoping everything goes smoothie. Not only did it go big time swiftly, it all went without a hitch. And, Gary and Antonio placed items, boxes and furnishings in the appropriate rooms - such a huge courtesy!
If you find a need to move, my recommendation is first, and without hesitation: Gary Gilliam-Beale's H.E.L.P.! Moving and Storage.

Dennis and his son were great to work with. They moved me on very short notice after other movers cancelled on me. They were careful, protected my furniture with shrink wrap, hustled to get it done quickly and efficiently and were very professional. I will recommend to friends and call them in the future.

Patrick and 2 other men worked very hard, although they came later than originally planned because they scheduled my move too close to the one before it and barely got any sleep in between. The move from a 4-bedroom house to a 2-bedroom condo took 12 hours, which made for a very long day and the only thing broken was my most prized possession, my piano. The right pedal (which you cannot do without) was broken off and one key no longer releases. I am trusting they will compensate me for whatever it costs to replace the pedal and fix the broken key I am aware of. I hope nothing more is broken that I have not discovered yet. Unfortunately for them, Patrick came out with a broken toe from the piano landing on it, as well as parts on my piano getting broken. Ugh! I learned from the experience to hire piano movers to move a heavy upright like mine and let regular movers do the rest, because everything else was delivered in tact. They were very nice, polite young men, but should not spread themselves so thin as to put two moves a very few hours apart without the rest they needed in between. But, other than that, everything went well.

All I can say is wow! I was very nervous to hire movers because I thought they were young and would milk the clock but they sure proved me wrong. We needed someone last minute for helping to move a large house and they were available and the best price around. They didn’t stop working the whole time, almost 9 hours on a very hot July day with some pretty heavy furniture. I was very very impressed. They don’t nickel and dime you like other companies. They were friendly and professional and did great work. They were a little late but nothing terrible and their hard work was SO greatly appreciated, I don’t know how we would have made the move without them! Thank you!!!!! 10 star rating if possible!

I had a terrible time searching for movers. I couldn't trust anyone based on my last move gone badly. These guys restored my faith. They did everything exactly how I asked and even went the extra mile in more ways then one. I don't know what I would do without you boys. Thnx

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

What do moving companies do?

Moving companies provide a range of services to help you physically move out of one residence and move into a new place. But moving companies can do so much more than just haul your belongings across town in a truck. The national average for moving company prices ($250-$350 per hour) reflects the range of services provided. Here are examples of all the ways moving companies can help:

Packing: Moving companies can pack your belongings for you. They typically charge a flat rate for both the box and the labor to pack the box. The more time-consuming the belongings are to pack, the higher the cost per box. For example, books could be $5 per box, linens $10 per box, and fine china and glassware $18 per box.

Specialty moving: Safely move a baby grand piano, a oversize aquarium, or other specialty items with the help of pro movers.

Storage: Many moving companies can store your belongings while you wait for a new home to be remodeled or closing of your new home to be finalized. If you’re moving long-distance, they often provide short-term storage free for a specific length of time, and a set rate after that (such as $60 per square cubic foot of storage space used).

Long-distance moves: No need to rent a trailer and move your things; a long-distance moving company can haul your belongings across the country for you. Typically they charge by the cubic foot for moves, with prices based on your destination.

Unpacking: Moving companies can even unpack your belongings for you after they have moved them. This is not as common, and will definitely increase the price, but can be helpful if you’re not able to tackle this task yourself.

How much does a moving company charge per hour?

When you’re ready to make a major move, it’s time to research moving companies’ prices. A moving company may charge on average anywhere between $25 and $100 per hour, per worker, for moving services. The price will vary with regional labor rates, local cost to do business, and the level of service the movers are providing. Nationally, the average hourly rate for a moving company is $250-$350 per hour. This price includes a range of pricing, from all-in service with four or more movers on site to standard hourly rates for one or two movers. Other factors that affect moving companies’ prices are packing, stairs (or elevators), and distance. For a full-service move, you pay movers to pack your belongings for you. You may pay for the cost of the moving boxes and an hourly rate per worker, and there may be additional charges for packing fragile items. Stairs will also add to your moving prices. Lifting and carrying boxes and furniture up and down stairs takes more time and creates more physical labor for the workers. Moving companies may charge flat rates for flights of stairs, such as $50-$70 per flight. A moving company may also charge a one-time fee for moving things via elevator, such as $75-$100. If parking is not accessible in front of your home or apartment building, there may also be an additional fee for the added distance to carry your belongings to the truck.
